Really nice work. I checked out the rest of the photos and I really hate to quibble but it looks too modern to me. The safety yellow bannisters, the teal green electric motors with the spec plates on the sides, the motor driven roller conveyors, etc. I wouldn't think the Soviets would have had those types of things.

Just a couple of thoughts.

Thanks for sharing the photos.

Wow! Good catch, Shaun. I would have never noticed that myself, but you are right. I know Dan works for an Industrial Distributor - I guess he's just too immersed in the whole modern O.S.H.A. compliant factory scene. :-) The dio looks awesome though!

Very impressive work. Shaun might be right, about some of the details being too modern, nevertheless very impressive work.

Inspirational. The dio cries for a T34 to drive through the rubble.

Dan Capauno is not an Armorama member and asked me to post this reply.

well guys i see where you are coming from here but live roller conveyors are a design since the late 30's and i'm afraid there is no reference at all on this subject so its alot of artistic license and just taking in what i see. the yellow railing is really strictly to liven it up a bit. Like I said I can only incorporate what I see in similar type plants of the day and just kinda backdate it as much as I think it would have looked back then. Not easy but sure as hell alot of fun!
